  1. Could be drone footage of Boris Johnsons head An overgrown area covering an unused facility
  2. It's like the BSPL banning nomadic teams unless they're making major inroads into getting a new track. I would think keeping fans of defunct tracks interested in the sport is a good idea. When was the last time, pre Covid-19 that any team soldout the capacity of the stadium for a league or Cup match ?
  3. Remember if you're travelling up that there are lots of roadworks around the stadium
  4. Thanks for the clarification Everyday's a schoolday
  5. You missed the point, I said IF I had the money. I think its been proven that promoters don't, in the vast majority of cases listen to what their audience thinks or suggests. An attitude that has got so many clubs in trouble over the years. Constantly tweaking something that doesn't work very well in the hope it will create a big change.
  6. IMO the 2 promoters with a licence is a stumbling block. As is the no vote for 3yrs at the AGM, if that rule still stands As for nationally agreed admission prices a total joke. Its your business charge what you want to attract an audience If I was in a position to spunk money on Speedway I reckon I could get a bigger crowd than the clowns calling the shots are managing at most tracks.
  7. I'm sure I read on Facebook that Tuesdays crowd was the biggest the promotion had.
  8. I'd hazard a guess that the material deteriorates due to rain and sunshine, numerous scuffs and lots of inflation and deflations, so the end result if each compartment is airtight but not strong enough to withstand a big impact.
  9. They probably pray for the occasional dusty meeting in Denmark
  10. I just get a message saying unsafe website Though reading the following posts the future doesn't look bright. Time for more promotions to follow the lead of Len Silver and the late Colin Hill. A decent day's pay for a decent day's work Pay your employees on time Your employees are happy as being paid and remain loyal I bet many a rider has thought the grass was greener and realised their mistake over the years. Also one of the biggest grumbles in the sport for what seems forever is too many team changes each season. Both the above named promoters tended to keep the basis of the previous seasons squad so fans were happy as continuity in the team makeup. I doubt if the riders would stay loyal to the Promoter/club if they weren't getting paid.
  11. The BSPL said anyone racing on IOW would face a ban or fine
  12. Because he rode on the IOW last week the BSPL have stopped him from being a meeting reserve for the British Final.
  13. Like I said its Farcical from the BSPL. If I was in Manchester I'd get 16 Baseball caps emblazoned with Justice for Connor Coles on them and get the riders to wear them
  14. Connor Coles not allowed to be a reserve as he rode on the IOW last week. Farcical from the BSPL
  15. I'd second that Redcar is a great racetrack, well worth a visit
  16. Congratulations you must be the first person to manage to use the words Swindon, Posher and Middleclass in the same sentence
  17. I'm all honesty can anyone see Swindon reopening ? As far as I know they still haven't started the Stadium rebuild and with the houses encroaching ever nearer. It's going to be a very sad day for the Towns Sporting legacy. Maybe they can find some land reasonably local on a brownfield site. Oxford have made more progress with a team of volunteers in a couple of months than Swindon have since they reshaped the track.
  18. I've just read on Facebook that Philip Rising has sadly died after a long illness R.I.P.
  19. There is if you Start on time Get the 2 minutes on as soon as the last rider from the preceding race has gone through the pit gate Only have grading and watering after hts 4,8, and 12 then 10-15 minutes after ht15 Obviously any major crashes could affect the smooth efficient running One of the biggest problems British speedway faces is the we can't do that and that won't work attitude,
  20. Why not make it a D/H league match and KOC match, obviously only if they could beat their curfew if they have one
  21. My post was aimed at hotels etc not the great and the good of the BSPL. Lets be honesti t's not the hotels fault that the meeting has been cancelled, my suggestion was based on you have a No change no refund booking, but if you ask them nicely in the current climate thay may allow you to alter your booking. You struck lucky and got a refund
  22. Even if you have a non refundable hotel booking, it's worth sending an email explaining the event you were going to has been postponed, and asking if they could possibly give you a credit so you can rebook for the relevant new date, the hotel still retains a booking so still get the money and in the current climate i reckon you will find most hotels, airlines etc are prepared to be flexible, afterall they are in the same state of ever changing circumstances as all of us. Don't forget to mention you're from North of the border, i'm positive no hotel would want to turn down those potential takings at the bar.
  23. I do hope Falubaz is happy for me i had a win double bet come in A Pole who's a Russian, and Berwick to win
